To what aim? Google has basically abandoned ChromeOS and the Play/app store for Android has been a wasteland for gaming for years and years now even though it is one of the largest gaming platforms on earth, if not literally the largest period... The process of actually finding a real VIDEO GAME on Google's Play store is a terrifying headache where every game you download you are still unsure in the back of your mind if it is just another casino game hidden with a tacky layer of "video game" on top or worse a virus/spyware disguised by fake positive Play store reviews that made it look like a real game.

So I ask again Google, who are these games for these kids will be able to vide code so easily?

Why are you trying to sell your product to an extremely niche range of users who's only use of these tools would be to create experiences a much larger group of people would play, when you have never shown a genuine interest in curating a larger group of people who like those experiences?

This is such lazy, confused, empty, cynical fluff and I hate it. Go away Google you are a waste of smart people.

If Google was actually excited about allowing kids to develop video games... why hasn't Google tried to nourish and sustain a vibrant Youtube community of game reviewers for Android games? Google OWNS Youtube!!!? Oh is it because they think they can replace those humans with robot recommendations too?

Ughhhhhh

Burn it, burn it all down!
